Apple dropped a teaser for an announcement that could hint at a Hi-Fi tier of Apple Music. Any details are non-existent in this teaser but Apple is promising “Get ready-music is about to change forever.”

The teaser video can be found on the main Browse tab in the Music application. The teaser comes at a time when reports suggest Apple will announce a new “Apple Music+” subscription tier and the third-generation AirPods on May 18 via a press release on its website.

Apple has been rumored to offer a new Hi-Fi or high-fidelity ‌Apple Music‌ tier for a while now. It’s being said that a Hi-Fi music tier of Apple Music will cost the same $9.99 as the current individual ‌Apple Music‌ plan. It will bring CD-quality sound to a lossless compression standard.

Apple isn’t going to be the first company to add a hi-fi streaming tier in its music streaming app as Spotify will bring a new tier offering music with CD-quality sound later this year.

Apple may also introduce AirPods 3 this week. They are expected to look just like the AirPods Pro but come without active noise cancellation.
